Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a service provider, each of multiple email messages from an email system of a company after the email system determines that each email message includes travel information associated with business travel of an employee of the company, wherein the company is a client or customer of the service provider. The method also includes parsing and filtering, by the service provider, each email message to obtain the travel information. The method also includes storing, by the service provider, the travel information in a data repository. The method also includes generating, by the service provider, one or more user or data interfaces associated with the travel information, wherein the one or more user or data interfaces are arranged as a travel information dashboard accessible to the company.

Abstract: The present invention generates a ranked display listing of product providers (such as hotels) in response to a user query wherein the rank is generated based upon a performance factor determined by the system. The invention generates the performance factor based on the popularlity of a given product provider as indicated by the number of transactions occurring between users and the product provider. The performance factor may also be based on the relative economic performance of the various product providers such that the system may display product providers in an order that is based on on a combination of the relative popularity and the relative economic performance of the product providers as measured over a selected period.
